Lost.
Lost-many sunless years
 Upon the road of life:

' Upon the road of life; Old, faded relics, stained with tears, And scared by fruitless strife. Lost, never to be found Gone, gone forevermore; Swept on the ebbing stream of time, To an eternal shore. They vanished one by one, Each bearing on it's breast A life not lived, a work undone, A treasure not possessed; Something for which it seems, My soul has vainly sought, The waking truth of happy dreams, That time has never brought Alas! the weary days,
 Unwelcome in the past, Are with me yet; my skies are dark, And night is gathering fast. I strain my fearless eyes To pierce the thickening gloom, And, mid the shadows, seem to rise A vision of the tomb. And is this all-is there
 Beyond life's troubled wave No healing balm for broken hearts, No hope beyond the gravel No haven of repose,
 No bright abode of rest, No land of promise for the soul By earthly cares oppressedl Oh, yes; poor, fainting heart, By stormy pillows tossed, There is better world than this Whose years are never lost. Believe in Him who bade
 The raging tempest cease, And while eternal ages roll Thou shalt abide in peace s

When Representative Dunno, of Free
born county, introduced his now famous
gopher bounty bill-which by the way
has depleted the county treasures of
the State over $10O, 900 in less than six
months 1t was considered a very harm
less affair and provoked some merri-
ment. It was the only bill, however,
which he introduced and he hung to it
with great tenacity. It would never
have passed, however, had it not been
for Speaker Merriam's kindness OF
heart, who, when he saw the bill going
down, stated that it was the only thing
Mr.. .IDunne had asked of the legislature
and his modesty should be rewarded by
the passage of the bill. It was saved,

REcoLLEcTIoSs or A MINISTER TO FRANCE,
lsG9-lS77. BY L. b. Washburne, LII, D.,
with illustrations. New York Charles
Scribner's Sons.
The period OF French history covered by
these "Recollec,ions," though recent In
point OF time, is fast recediDg aud It is for
tunate for all students Of the progress OF
France In the direction of political liberty
and firmly established institutions that so
gifted and impartial an observer as Mr..
Wathburne was permitted to reside In full
view and immediate presence OF the stirring
events which he describes.
Thus will be preserved an accurate photo
graph, as II were, of the memorable and
important years preceding and following
the FraDco-German war. 1t was Minister
Washburne's privilege to be In Paris at the
time that war was rashly declared, and
during the siege of the French capital by
the victorious German army. He was there
also during the scenes Of terror which fol.
lowed the evacuation of Paris by the
enemy-was the personal witness Of many
OF them--and the narrative which he gives
Of the rise, the temporary supremacy, and
the final downfall Of the Commune is oil
most absorbing interest.
Mr.. Washburne being in position moi
only to see all that was going on, but also
to come in contact with the forces that were
engaged in the struggle, gives unusual value
and standard character to his observation!
and comments on passing events.
The "Recollections" are published In two
large handsome volumes, and contain man!
vivid illustrations of the startling occur
rences that so shocked the genius of our civil
izatlon, besides numerous portraits among
which will be found those OF Louis Adolpl
Thiers, Prince Bismarck, Louis Gambe,ta
the Emperor William, Napoleon III, julie

WASHINGTON. OCTOBER II. 1887
COMMUNISM AND ITS CAUSES.

In an address delivered at Cincinnati
last Friday evening by the Hon. Will
liam Jones of London upon the subject
Of International Arbitration" the
speaker alluded In strong terms to the
military establishments of Europe, with
their enormous cost, as directly respon.
slble for Nihilism. Communism and
Socialism; and these dangerous ele.
ments of the body polite are inerad-
icable, so long ms the cause continues.
Said Mr., Jones;
There are, bldIng their timo in Germany,
upward OF million Socialists. Nou may
seize these men, you may hang them, shoot
them, imprison them, but the disaffectlon
the disloyalty thnt underies It all you can
neither hang, shoot nor lmprlson.
There is much truth-morc than the
crowned heads of Europe could wish
in this ominouS and startling statement,
and 1t compels our charitable, If not
entirely sympathetic consideration for
those who, chatting under a military
despotism, seek deliverance through
conspiracy and revolution, without
much questioning the legitimacy of
their methods.
But agitation of this character has
NO warrant or justification in America.
Nowhere within the broad jurisdiction
Of the Federal Constitution is An
srchism in any of its forms o native
product. 1t hourishes under condi
tions which do not exist In America
which are repellent to Its growth; and
the only palllation to the crime fol
which the Chicago Anarchists stand
condemned is that, upon coming to this
country, they were unable to readily
divest themselves of Ideas born and
nurtured under imperial skies and In
an atmosphere Of revolution.
There is nowhere upon the face Of
the earth-there has never been in al
The worlds history-a government sc
free, so tolerant, SO well worthy oi
every mans loyal defense and in
variable obedience to law, as the Gov
ernment of the United States.
1t was the misfortune of these mer
that they failed to comprehend th'i
fact, and magnifled the Issues of loca
strike into question of universal lib
erty only TO be solved by destroying
the property OF the corporations anC
over,urning the. existing fabric o
society.
In Germany the Socialist, the Nj
hilist, the Anarchist has reason 70
his being in America he has no reaso
to be anything else but an American.
Herein is difference that the revc
lutlonary elements of Europe whic
have been transplanted to the Unite
States should be promptly given to III
derstand, as the conspirators value the
lives and liberties.
